If you use LTSpice for circuit design and simulation, you might want to export and share your data and plots with others. Whether you need to present your results, collaborate with your peers, or document your work, there are different ways to export and share your LTSpice data and plots. In this article, we will show you how to do it in six easy steps.
One of the simplest ways to export your LTSpice data is to save it as a text file. You can do this by right-clicking on the plot window and choosing "File > Export data as text". This will open a dialog box where you can choose the variables, the format, and the file name. You can then open the text file with any text editor or spreadsheet program and share it with others.
Another way to export your LTSpice data is to copy it to the clipboard. You can do this by right-clicking on the plot window and choosing "Edit > Copy". This will copy the data in a tab-separated format that you can paste into any program that accepts text input. For example, you can paste it into a word processor, an email, or a web page.
If you want to export your LTSpice plot as an image, you can do this by right-clicking on the plot window and choosing "File > Export as image". This will open a dialog box where you can choose the image format, the resolution, and the file name. You can then view, edit, or share the image file with any image viewer or editor.
No such option anymore. LTspice might have been updated so you have to deal with HEIC now. I was prompted to purchase Microsoft subscription but have not been able to get it to work after the purchase. Don't understand why LTspice have to bow to MS. Saving to JPEG directly is much easier.
Another option to export your LTSpice plot as an image is to print it to a PDF file. You can do this by right-clicking on the plot window and choosing "File > Print". This will open a dialog box where you can choose the printer, the page setup, and the print options. You can then select a PDF printer or a virtual printer that can create PDF files. You can then save, view, or share the PDF file with any PDF reader or editor.
Sometimes, you might want to share your LTSpice schematic with others, not just the data or the plot. You can do this by saving your schematic as a .asc file and sending it to others. They can then open it with LTSpice and run the simulation, modify the circuit, or add annotations. You can also include any custom models, symbols, or libraries that you used in your schematic by saving them in the same folder or in a subfolder.
Finally, you can share your LTSpice data and plots as a web page. You can do this by using the LTSpice2Web tool, which is a free online service that converts your LTSpice files into interactive web pages. You can upload your .asc, .raw, or .plt files and choose the options for the web page. The tool will then generate a web page that you can view, edit, or share with others. You can also embed the web page in your own website or blog.
